  2. Verschlüsselungsverarbeitungsmittel gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei,
    wenn der Funkträger, der periodisch zu senden und zu empfangen ist, nicht empfangen wird, nachdem ein vorgeschriebenes Zeitintervall vergangen ist, das RLC-Verlusterfassungs- und Schätzungsmittel (32) schätzt, dass der Funkträger verloren ist.
  3. Verschlüsselungsverarbeitungsmittel gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei das MAC-Verlusterfassungs- und Schätzungsmittel (23) den verlorenen Funkträger und die Datenmenge aus einem Verhältnis des Funkträgers schätzt, das in den Funkträgern, die zuvor empfangen wurden und danach empfangen wurden, eingeschlossen ist.
  4. Verschlüsselungsverarbeitungsmittel gemäß Anspruch 1, wobei wenn ein Funkträger, der Kommunikation mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit durchführt, in den verlorenen Funkträgern eingeschlossen ist, das MAC-Verlusterfassungs- und Schätzungsmittel (23) eine Datenmenge schätzt, die erhalten wird, indem eine Datenmenge des Funkträgers, der die Kommunikation mit konstanter Geschwindigkeit durchführt, von den verlorenen Funkträgern ausgeschlossen wird und die Datenmenge als ein Maximalwert der Datenmenge, die in dem Funkträger, der Kommunikation mit nicht konstanter Geschwindigkeit durchführt, verloren ist.
  5. Verschlüsselungsverarbeitungsverfahren, das eine Paketkombinationsdateneinheit, die von einer Mobilstation (1) eines mobilen Kommunikationssystems gesendet wird und bei einer Basisstation empfangen wird, in eine Anzahl an Protokolldateneinheiten (120) teilt und Verschlüsselungsverarbeitung zu einer Zeit des Zusammensetzens der geteilten Protokolldateneinheiten (120) in eine Servicedateneinheit (130) für eine Vorrichtung höherer Ebene durchführt, wobei das Verschlüsselungsverarbeitungsverfahren umfasst:
    Teilen der Paketkombinationsdateneinheit in eine Anzahl an Protokolldateneinheiten (120) durch jeden Logikkanal basierend auf Informationen der Logikkanäle, die Funkträger, die in der Dateneinheit enthalten sind, spezifizieren;
    in der Medienzugriffssteuerung, MAC, -Schicht Erfassen von Auftreten von Verlust in den Protokolldateneinheiten (120), die durch jeden der Logikkanäle geteilt sind, basierend auf Informationen der Logikkanäle, die Funkträger spezifizieren, die in der Dateneinheit enthalten sind, und Schätzen des Funkträgers der verlorenen Protokolldateneinheit und einer Datenmenge der verlorenen Protokolldateneinheit;
    Zusammensetzen der geteilten Protokolldateneinheiten (120) in eine Servicedateneinheit (130) für eine Vorrichtung höherer Ebene;
    in der Funkverbindungssteuerung, RLC, -Schicht Erfassen des Auftretens von Verlust in den Protokolldateneinheiten (120), wenn die Servicedateneinheit (130) gemacht wird, basierend auf einer Kontinuität von Seriennummern, die in den Protokolldateneinheiten (120) enthalten sind, und Schätzen einer verlorenen Menge der Protokolldateneinheiten (120), wenn die Servicedateneinheit (130) gemacht wird, basierend auf den Datenmengen, die in der MAC-Schicht geschätzt wurden; und
    Korrigieren einer Rahmennummer der Servicedateneinheit (130) basierend auf der Datenmenge, die in RLC-Schicht geschätzt wird, wenn die Servicedateneinheit (130) gemacht wird.
  6. Computerprogramm, das Instruktionen umfasst, die, wenn sie durch einen Computer ausgeführt werden, den Computer zum Ausführen der Schritte des Verfahrens von Anspruch 5 veranlassen.
